The Virginia Adult Day Services Association, VADSA, was originally founded in 1978 as VIAD (Virginia Institute of Adult Daycare) by adult day service provider agencies and other professionals. The organization has grown to include more than 35 centers state-wide. VADSA activities focus on the development of adult day services through education, planning, public policy development, research, and evaluation. VADSA is proud to be associated with the Virginia Coalition for the Aging, National Council on the Aging, and the National Adult Day Services Association.
